Marquette Men’s Lacrosse Falls To #4 Duke

While clinging to a one goal lead in the third quarter, Marquette gave up four straight goals to #4 Duke and ended up with an 11-7 loss on Saturday. The Golden Eagles are now 6-6 on the season and will have to win the Big East tournament for the second straight season in order to make it into the NCAA tournament in 2017.

For about 38 minutes on Saturday, Marquette looked like they had a clear chance to upset the #4 ranked team in the country. Duke never got more than two goals in front of Marquette in the first half, peaking at that two goal mark twice, including at halftime at 5-3.
